  "textContent": "A research team affiliated with UNIST has unveiled a novel dry-process manufacturing method for thick electrodes aimed at enhancing electric vehicle (EV) driving range while reducing battery production costs. Professor Won-Jin Kwak of the School of Energy and Chemical Engineering at UNIST, in collaboration with Professor Junghyun Choi of Gachon University and Professor Janghyuk Moon of Chung-Ang University, have successfully overcome key challenges associated with thick, dry-processed electrodes—specifically initial capacity loss and manufacturing complexity.",
